Pink Flamingos


Postal Dude's wife, B*tch Dude, seemed very similiar to Divine/Babs Johnson's mother from Pink Flamingos. As did their trailer home, and the overall tone of the movie. Plus it's mentioned in the recommendations. Has Boll by any chance seen it?

POSTAL was EXTREMELY similar to a John Waters movie, just because they are 1. Both lighthearted darkness, and 2. Are used to attack things they hate.

I think Bitch Dude, and Divine are VERY different characters, since Divine was DIVINE, and this girl was just white trash. I do think they're very similar, I just think you pointed out the wrong thing! Hahaha!

Nah I didn't say B*tch Dude (gotta replace the "i" with a dash, otherwise they'll delete your post) was like Divine I said she was like Divine's mother. You know; the woman in the playpen who's obsessed with eggs. What's her name...? Eddie. Yeah, Eddie.

I didn't see any similarities to Waters....Waters comedies tend to be more dialogue-driven and ironic...if anything, the exploitative techniques, comical stereotyping, over-the-top action sequences, low-brow humor and cleverly stupid satire is practically the equivalent of a big-budget Troma film.

Strangely enough right after watching this I commented that it was like a Troma film directed by John Waters.
